No, you can alter a mysql table after creation. You can add/remove columns, change column definitions, change the charset, etc.
What I was wondering is if all the messages for a forum with multiple boards are stored in a single table or if each board has its own table.
Forum Information is stored inside the forums table.

each forum "install" uses its own tables. mybb uses a table prefix for each set of tables used by a forum, so you can have multiple foruns in a single database.
example would be one MyBB install in example.com\forums and one in example.com\support and have them totally independent of each other, even if your host only provided one database
